[Verse 1]
You told your friends I was heartless
Said I burned what we built to the ground
Guess it plays better if I'm the darkness
And you're the one in a wedding gown
You painted horns on my shadow
Every time that my back was turned
But I don't lose sleep over rumors
When I know the lesson I learned
[Chorus]
If I'm the villain in your paperback fiction
Baby
That's fine
I don't need redemption
I walked through the fire
Came out refined
Scratches on my heart
Not on my mind
You can be the saint in your side of the story
I'll just keep walking in quiet glory
I laid it all down
Let the anger fade
I'm good with the truth
Not the part you played
[Verse 2]
I used to chase after answers
Argue every word that you said
Typing out long explanations
Deleting them all instead
Now I just sit on the front porch
Watch the sky change
Sip my tea
Talk it out with the Good Lord
He knows the whole thing better than me
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
I don't wish you hurt
I don't wish you pain
Hope you find peace
Hope you heal that blame
'Cause I found grace in the middle of the mess
[low vocal register] Learned that being right matters less and less
[guitar solo]
[Chorus]
